A Look Back
It’s weird to be in a place where I look back at this blog with nostalgia. This was the beginning of everything. And no, I don’t think it’s a stretch to say that. Without this blog, I never would have met my best friend in the whole world. I wouldn’t have allowed my writing to evolve, wouldn’t have started drawing again with the same fervor. Wouldn’t have met the people that changed my life for the better. Were it not for an idea that popped into my head during a jog home of Gaster in a top hat, I wouldn’t be where I am today.
Gaster, obviously, was a character very close to my heart. He was...an oddity. My dip into the UT fandom, my own way of expressing thoughts and ideas I didn’t see anyone else doing. And eventually, Gaster became my OC, Glynn. His own character, in his own world, with his own story...and now? The most the two share is a scar and the occasional top hat. To see the progression of his character alone gives me the warm and fuzzies. And heck—that doesn’t even account for all the other ways my writing evolved!
And please, don’t even get me started on how much my friends and fellow mods have grown. I’ll start crying from sheer pride.
I grew, as all things did. I started this blog as a high school student—now, I’m a year away from finishing college. It’s quite surreal, honestly, especially with how much has changed. I could never imagine keeping up with a blog like this as actively as I did—which, even then, had its dry spells! No doubt it was some of the most fun I had while discovering the ins and outs of operating my own little piece of this vast website. It was this unknowable opportunity to interact with people who genuinely loved and believed in my work—for a kid who’d almost given up on art and writing at one point, it meant everything.
I do feel bad for not finishing things out here. I had a whole story in my head, an faq in the works, a comic...plans change. I dropped off from digital art a long time ago, and without the support of mods to help translate my traditional art into digital linework, I started finding myself without the capacity to keep up. But that’s not the fault of anyone, really! We all grew up and started adulting, and that’s what tends to happen. But gosh, I won’t ever forget what we pulled off here, together. Maybe someone else will stumble upon this half-finished project and think it’s cringey or ridiculous—hell, I wince at some of my old work sometimes—but I know I’ll always love it.
And what now? Well, that question really should have been asked about a year ago, I think. Hitting a thousand followers seemed like an unattainable goal when I started, and it still boggles my mind sometimes. Regardless—I really should have done a bit more updating and upkeep here. The full story is still in my head, after all: all the mechanics and plot of Undertop may have gone unwritten, but they’re still stuck in this noggin! Sadly, I don’t think I’m going to be returning here, at least not very often. Asks are and will always remain open, and if anyone wants clarification on the story, on characters, where it was all headed—well, maybe that deserves a post in its own right. And hey, I’m still around! I’m over on my main account, @stylincheetah, if anyone’s interested in following this silly mod with her future endeavors. Believe me—plans are in the works!
To those who have stuck around long enough to be here, thank you. Same for all of the people who drew us fanart. Sent us asks. Are reading this now. It means the world. I’d like to think some of you will follow me into the future while I work on new projects, or just be there to see what I draw next. Whatever the case, I know you’ve all been a wonderful audience!
